Sibling Fan Tales...

[savageseraph]

My sister has always given me shit about my fannish favorites in The Lord of the Rings movies. I am an unapologetic Aragorn fangirl, and my sister never fails to seize the opportunity to point out how positively filthy—sweaty and dirty—he is for most of the films. I heard about this this year at Thanksgiving when we watched Fellowship.

However, she has recently expanded her commentary to Geralt of Rivia, my pretty, pretty Witcher. While we were watching Season Two, she was like, “You know, you never liked Henry Cavill as Superman, but along comes The Witcher, and he’s all dirty and sweaty and (probably) smelly, an now you think he’s hot.” I pointed out that technically wasn’t true. That he got hotter for me when I found out what a GIANT nerd he is. And that he loves animals. And is a dog person.

And, well, yeah. Geralt is WAY hotter than Superman. Though I confess Zach Snyder’s black suit Superman is pretty hot too.

So this week, she texts me this.



Yes. She can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes. ^_^

But he does grime up good. Really, really good.

He does grime up good. I generally feel that Henry Cavill is 'eh' but smear a bit of filth on him and yes, please, thankyou.

(Also, everyone looks hotter in fantasy-esque kit. Literally everyone.)

You know the response to your sister should really be something like "...yes. And?" Own the pretty filth :)

Oh man, YES, that is totally a thing. My friend points it out to me in my faves all the time. Case in point: Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon. YES PLEASE. (At least in the early seasons. I've no idea how shaggy looking and unkempt he is now.)
